The Villas at Magnolia Lakes

The Villas at Magnolia Lakes is a 55+ senior living community in Chester, Virginia, designed for adults who want active and comfortable living near the water, and the houses range from single-family homes and townhomes to condos, cottages, and villa homes, all with views of the lake, river, mountains, or gardens if that's what you're after, and you might like that the homes come from builders such as Cornerstone Homes, Stylecraft Homes, Ryan Homes, or Eagle Homes, depending on which one you're looking at, and some homes have wide-open floor plans, Owner's Suites, and plenty of storage. There are walk and bike trails all over, with resort-style amenities like a clubhouse, pool, spa, fitness centers, pickleball courts, softball fields, and a dog park, so people can get outside, keep active, and socialize by the water, and if you like boating, fishing, or kayaking, you'll find a private beach walkway, a shallow marina, a pier, and kayak launch right in the community, with even some homes built right along the shore. The recreation areas, event lawns, and community gardens, including a professionally managed garden space and even a farm or agribusiness concept, make it easy for residents to join in outdoor activities, clubs, events, or just relax with friends, and a library, reading rooms, game and activity rooms, event calendars, and interest groups help fill the days. You'll find villas, apartments, and cottages that are furnished, with kitchenettes, cable TV, Wi-Fi, private bathrooms, laundry, and climate control, plus some homes that are low-maintenance with lawn care included, so you don't have to worry about upkeep, and for those who need more care, there are assisted living, memory care, independent living, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement options, all with 24-hour supervision, safety call systems, and non-ambulatory care for those who need help. Seniors here get help with bathing, dressing, medication management, housekeeping, laundry, meals for special diets, and move-in coordination if needed, and you'll also see programs for wellness, health, and family support, daily scheduled activities, and a real focus on building friendships, so people can get the support they need and still stay independent as long as they are able. The gated community allows for RV and boat storage, and it's pet friendly, with easy access for people who need wheelchairs or walkers, and because of the large size of the property, people can really find their own space or join a group for things like golf, tennis, bocce, shuffleboard, billiards, arts and crafts, or even equestrian activities, and there's always something to do there for people who like a lively and social atmosphere, while still having private, comfortable spaces to call home.
